Now here we have a description of a momentous event, the return of Jesus in Power with the promise that this would happen within the generation of Christians standing there, yet this did not happen.
So again, clearly concisely and to the point, what is the explanation for this failure?
“Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven. Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place…“ (Mark 13:26-30)
